My insightful takeaways from the 2018-2019 annual exhibition - Part 1

Yesterday was the annual exhibition for grades 1 to 12 in my school, which is HLC International. Our exhibition was named Strands Of Transformation, which was the continuation of the exhibition that took place two years back, named Shaashvatam.

Shaashvatam means sustainability and addressed two of the three main needs for a person: food and shelter. We grew crops of different varieties in our own school farm overcoming the grave challenges posed by the Vardha cyclone!! We built a farmhouse as well which covers the need for shelter.

This year, we looked at the third main need which is clothing and kept it as our main theme. Strands Of Transformation means that every strand of fibre, not matter where it is obtained from, joined together, brings a huge transformation in every one's lives. This year's exhibition topic was divided into six subtopics :

1. Paper and Felt Making

2. Braiding and Knitting

3. Dyeing

4. Printing

5. Weaving and Basketry

6. Draping and Repurposing

Prior to the annual exhibition, there were ten preparatory days and the students in each group were chosen through a concept called vertical grouping where four or five students from each class from grades 4  - 9 were put together in one group. This taught me to be more collaborative and be more open to working with students from different grades. I was chosen in the Weaving and Basketry team and I had no particular reaction as the entire concept of clothing was new to me.

The teachers who were leading the weaving and basketry team,  had previously taught me years back and it was nice boarding their ship once again. As it was a sudden transit from the normal school routine to the exhibition work, the first day was boring, although I had no idea of what was coming up next for me and it literally blew me away!!😂

This was the first part of my wonderful experience of the Strands of Transformation exhibition and continue reading to find out how the rest of the ten days as well as the exhibition went awesomely for me.

Thank You and Good bye 😃

Dear all, it is with immense ple a sure I am writing this as it is my 50th blog !! I have been able to cross the Golden Jubilee after exactly seven months and ten days and it has been an incredible journey. I was first introduced to blogging and the world of blogs on 4th May 2018, by my dear father . Making me write blogs was on his radar for a long time as he thought it would help me improve my English writing skills, my observation skills and most of all, helping me organize and structure tasks. When I  started blogging, I would make many errors and my father would diligently and lovingly correct them. But now, I am happy to say that though I make errors while writing, I manage to fix most of them by myself. If you have ever wondered at any point what happens behind the scenes to make my blog, then here you are: 1. Deciding on a topic: Unlike other bloggers, I write about varied topics and deciding a subject is very crucial. I mostly follow a structured order of topics

-
Our world is being rampaged by the coronavirus(Covid-19) and new personal and social norms have been created in order to prevent the spread of the virus. As we are unsure whether if the virus will be eradicated or the fact that it may continue to remain on earth, we have to equip ourselves for the future in order to be able to live with it. In this blog which is the first of a duology, I will be looking at 3 normal features that we were accustomed to before the spread of the virus and how these features will be reshaped and remodeled in the future. I will also be giving my predictions on what we can expect from these changes in the future. 3 features of the ' Old Normal ' and how they will be modified for the ' New Normal '. 1. Wearing A Mask In Public Prior to the Covid-19 spread, it was not at all necessary to wear a mask in the public. Moreover, people who were sick were only encouraged to wear it. However, it is now made mandatory for everyone to wear a

Why Marketing Is So Crucial For Firms

Why Do Firms Need Marketing? Marketing is for firms what breath is for humans. Generally speaking, the 3 main reasons why entrepreneurs say the reason their company faced heavy losses is because it was either undercapitalized, employed the wrong people or the market conditions were bad. However, I would like to add a fourth point here which is poor marketing. Not only does effective and good marketing help a company sell its product thereby generating revenue, it also helps build indirect customer and business relationships and helps the company gain widespread fame and an increased customer base.  Types of Marketing : 1. Print Advertisements 2. Word of Mouth 3. Radio and Television Advertisements 4. Social Media Advertisements 5. Cause Marketing - Marketing that involves messages about social causes and activist messages 6. Relationship Marketing - Marketing campaigns that stress customer satisfaction more than sales transactions. The Advent of Digital Media Marketing Prior to the bir
